Match reports for the Noosa Dolphins
Under 9 Fins 25 d St Andrews 20
HUNTER rose to the occasion, leading by example, punching the ball up through the centre and providing good strength at the breakdown.
Mack worked hard all game to get the ball out with some sneaky runs and pinpoint passes.
The Quenchers Team Spirit award went to an ecstatic Remy, who showed much improvement in ball security. He took big runs going forward and would give Usain Bolt a run for his money when he runs on and off the interchange bench.
Louie and Saatchi again gave 100 per cent, saving numerous tries with their lightning speed and horizontal tackling ability.
Saatchi’s try came from a break straight up the centre to score under the posts and Louie got a hat-trick of tries and his last try in the dying seconds of the match to take the side to victory. Connor also scored a good try.
Next week, the Fins have a bye, the side is looking at no training Friday afternoon and instead training on Saturday 23 May at the Pirate Park, Noosaville, with a sausage sizzle to finish. More information later in the
week, training is still on Monday 4pm.

Under 10 Reds 22 drew with St Andrews 22
An outstanding game from both teams.
St Andrews with all the ball early led 17-nil however the Noosa boys are made of stern stuff and courageously fought back to level at 17 all. St Andrews again proved worthy opponents to hit the lead at 22-17. However, Noosa again dug deep to eventually level up just on full time at 22 all.
Matt Cashman scored a hat-trick with Jack Caspers grabbing the other try.
Well played lads, it was a tremendous team effort.

Under 10 Fins 10 drew with Brothers Wolves 10
A much-improved Brothers outfit brought their A game to Peregian Springs and caught the Fins a little off guard.
That said, the boys were determined not to lose and fought every step of the way to ground out a gritty draw.
Sensational defence from Sam and Kye were the highlights for Noosa.
Try scorers were Jackson and Fletcher.
Well done boys.
The Under 10s squad remain undefeated for 2015.

Under 11 Fins 24 d Flinders 19
Three out of three for the Fins with a hard-fought, sometimes fierce, encounter against a determined opponent. The match result went down to the wire, but could have been settled earlier but for three hold ups on the Flinders try line. Heroic performances from all the boys.
Try scorers: Jarrah Charlesworth (2), Noa Penitani, James Gelling
